Beautiful affordable door hardware!We replaced all of the door hardware in our home (19 doors) with these Balboa levers. They were easy to install, affordable and look great. I specifically wanted an antique brass color which was hard to find, but this was perfect. Shipping was fast and accurate. This is one happy customer!

Beautiful handlesWe ordered these handles for our entire home. They are beautiful and well made. The only thing that we didn't love was that the screws on the inside part of the handle are visible. The picture doesn't show that. I thought it would bother me, but it really doesn't. Would purchase again!

I purchased these door handles for a rental unit that I am remodeling. They match the contemporary feel I am going for. The door handles came with all needed parts (even a choice of oval or rectangular door plates). Just order carefully so you get the correct opening for this single dummy lever. It is not interchangeable as the rest of the door
handles are. Instructions were easy to follow and I was able to change out the handles with no difficulties. They make the doors look
great!

Sturdy and attractiveI used this in 4 homes we built and customers love them. They are very stylish and modern looking yet fall under "universal design" meaning they are great for people with disabilities or great for aging in place.

Sturdy and attractiveThese were the best priced lever handles I could find and we will be using them in all of our homes. They are sturdy, attractive and fit in any decor, plus they are great for people with disabilities or elders.

I need a left hand inactive Balboa lever in Satin Nickel to go on the opposite side of the door from the one shown here. &nbsp;Therefore, it should have no screws on the plate. &nbsp;It should oppose the model 488BL RH 15 CP in Satin Nickel already installed. Help!

Asked by: PHJax

Hello PHJax,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 488BL-15. All inactive levers have screws on the plate. For a left inactive door lever you will need to purchase model # 488BL LH 15 CP.

If I want a full-dummy for a dual door in the Balboa Satin Nickel, what would be the correct part number(s).

Asked by: Rezwan

Hello Rezwan,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 488BL-15. Kwikset does not manufacture a full dummy. If your door has a through borehole then it is suggested to use a hall/closet lever. The two half dummy levers would be used for doors that do not have a hole.

There is a paper tab that one uses to separate the rose from the main body of the lever for installation. I pulled and yanked on the tab; however the rose would not budge. I ended up ripping off the tab. Any suggestions for removing the rose?

Asked by: Bikersaurus

Hello Bikersaurus,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 488BL-5. We apologize for the inconvenience you have encountered with your lock. It is suggested to use some thing flat to fit between the plate and the mounting hardware and lifting the plate slowly around the mounting hardware.
Thank you,

I plan on purchasing the Avalon Handleset for my entry door but would like the Balboa lever for the inside. will the dummy handle work or do i need to purchase a whole passage door lever?

Asked by: Bradley

Hello Bradley,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset Avalon Handle set. The interior Balboa lever for the inside is Kwikset model # 966BL 15. The dummy handle will not work nor will the passage door lever, they are both not compatible with the handle set. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I want these handles for my French doors. However, I see that the screw hole on the existing handle are at 6 &amp; 12 o'clock, while in the picture these are at 3 &amp; 9 o'clock. Can I rotate the holes so I don't have to drill again?

Asked by: rptwiz

Hello rptwiz,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 488BL-15. The holes can not be rotated, you will have to drill the holes for the 3 &amp; 9 o'clock. We apologize for the inconvenience.
